Here are a few snaps from our long weekend. It involved some child-free time for Tom and I (dinner + spy movie), building some raised vege beds, a few long walks, hanging out in the garden, city adventures, baking both sweet and savoury (the cookies in the above photo were made using this recipe) and recovering from tonsilitis and feeling very grateful to be alive and well. 

The children and I discovered this great documentary on youtube all about migrating birds- have you seen it? It even features a song by Nick Cave in the soudtrack. We loved watching it- you might too.

See you again tomorrow.

    That is the most beautiful hydrangea! The colour is yummy. I had that same Charlotte’s Web book as a child, I remember it being the first book that I just couldn’t put down.
    What a lovely weekend you had (apart from the tonsilitis of course.

    Hi Melissa, great photos and comments. Im pleased with myslf at the moment. Just got through 4 chemotherapy sessions with 6 weeks of radiotherapy to follow,due to early stage breast cancer. Im hoping my number 2 haircut will start growing out soon. Ive enjoyed looking back on some of your older blogs, especially the photos, during my quiet time.
    Cheers
